I installed it in kodi Leia 18.4

It doesnt't work, it lunch the raspbian desktop and in the middle it asks for the account password.

Do you have any clue why?

I have a raspi 4 with raspbian buster

I was able to work around this by changing the autologin user in /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service:

sudo sed -i "s/--autologin pi/--autologin kodi/g" /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service

However, Steam Link is not starting.

Opening a terminal on the machine (instead of ssh) and running steamlink as user kodi results in error: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.

I guess I will just modify the plugin to run as user pi.

I think the current X server is ran as "pi" user instead of "kodi" which is why you could encounter the error you got from Qt plugin loading. Please try to switch to user "pi" to check if its related...

I agree it's due to the user account but I also had an issue of the timing of when commands were launched. I had to do a few other tweaks to make it work with the latest RpiDesktop (5.10). There might be a better way to do this; but it is working. Now If I can just find a way to change focus to the steamlink window so I don't have to have a mouse attached.
